Training Big Data Talent is a Necessity, Not an Option

Delivering efficient data modelling & analytics solutions depends a lot on having manpower with relevant skills. Training an existing workforce is a necessity today in the field of big data as data scientists are an elusive catch and there certainly aren’t enough of them to go around just yet. With competitors catching up in this regard and university campuses are yet to address the huge demand of data scientists, organizations got no option other than training the manpower resources they already have! Bill Laberis, Social Media Manager, Custom Solutions Group at IDG said “Think of Big Data like a tsunami. Most of it is still out sea, a veritable wall of data born in large measure from the social media boom. As it approaches land and the shallows, suddenly it looms. Then crashes to shore. On top of your business”.

Labour optimization solutions make best use of Human Capital

Organizations have implemented various software solutions to manage many processes, from ERP to power consumption to supply chain management. But when it comes to the most critical component of supply chain management – “Human Capital”, many companies are still playing catch-up. However, nowadays more organizations are turning to labour optimization solutions. These solutions not only keep track of operations, but also use predictive models and algorithms to determine future labour needs. Labour optimization software also analyze orders and resources to predict warehouse throughput. Then it automatically schedules the right balance of full-time, part-time, and temporary workers to meet demand. Managers receive alerts when labour levels don’t meet requirements. Optimization solutions have been used successfully for years in operations such as call centres, which needs to examine historical call patterns to predict future call volumes and ensure that they have the right people with the right skills in the right channels. Such intelligent technology has enormous potential in a manufacturing setting, helping companies do more with less.

Why hire a Professional Employer Organization for your HCM needs?

An article by Carolyn Sokol, President of CompareHRIS.com, talks about how a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) can give your Human Capital Management function a more strategic perspective, rather than your in-house HCM team. The usual perspective of an HCM team is to provide services like recruiting and hiring, new hire on-boarding, training development, performance management, regulatory compliance, payroll and benefits delivery. A PEO would provide more strategic inputs like strategic staffing, policy development, career development, transition planning and company-wide communication.

CompareHRIS.com puts companies in touch with vendors who offer Human Resource Information Systems, Human Resource Management Software, & Payroll Software that most closely match their needs.
